Small, settled homes
Two to three people per home — chosen carefully so housemates actually get along. A calm household, not an institution.
Choosing Supported Independent Living is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. We're a small, specialist Adelaide provider for adults with intellectual disability — and we're here to help you understand your options, with no pressure and no jargon.
We're deliberately small. That's our advantage: your family member is a person we know by name, not a number on a roster.
Two to three people per home — chosen carefully so housemates actually get along. A calm household, not an institution.
Consistent support workers who learn each person's routines, likes and goals. Trust is built through familiarity, not a rotating cast.
Cooking, money, transport, confidence — every shift has a purpose. We measure success by what your family member can do more of over time.
You and the support coordinator can see what's actually happening — not a report written months later. Progress you can trust.
This is our specialism, not one service among many. We understand routine, communication, and behaviour support done well.
Director-level involvement and an open door. When something matters, you speak to a person who can actually help — quickly.
It's less complicated than it feels. Here's the typical path — we'll walk you through every step.
Tell us about your family member — their needs, routines and what a good day looks like. No commitment.
We look at compatibility with the existing housemates, funding, and support needs. Honesty first — if we're not right, we'll say so.
Come and see the house, meet the team, and picture daily life. Bring whoever you need to.
We coordinate with your support coordinator and plan a gentle transition at a pace that suits your family member.
